MIC6 aluminium plates are precision cast plates used for CNC machining, tooling, moulds, fixtures and machine bases where controlled thickness, flatness and dimensional stability are important. The plate specification includes ±0.127 mm thickness tolerance, controlled flatness and a precision-ground surface.
Renaissance Fittings & Piping supplies MIC6 aluminium plates in India in thicknesses from 6.35 mm to 101.6 mm, manufactured to ASTM B209 with double-sided PVC masking and specified dimensional and surface characteristics.

MIC6 Aluminium Plate Thickness and Tolerances
MIC6 plates are specified with controlled thickness and flatness for machining applications. The applicable flatness limit changes with plate thickness.
| Plate Thickness | Thickness Tolerance | Maximum Flatness Variation |
|---|---|---|
| 6.35–15.875 mm | ±0.127 mm | 0.381 mm |
| 19.05–101.6 mm | ±0.127 mm | 0.127 mm |
For quotation, the required plate thickness, width, length and quantity should be specified together because dimensional requirements determine the appropriate starting plate.
MIC6 Aluminium Plate Surface Finish
| Surface Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Surface Type | Ground |
| Number of Ground Faces | Both sides |
| Typical Roughness | 0.25–0.30 µm Ra |
| Maximum Roughness | 0.50 µm Ra |
| Surface Protection | Blue PVC masking, both sides |
The ground surface and protective masking are particularly relevant when the plate is purchased for subsequent CNC machining or precision tooling.
MIC6 Aluminium Plate Chemical Composition
| Element | Composition |
|---|---|
| Zinc (Zn) | 5.10–6.10% |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 2.10–2.90% |
| Copper (Cu) | 1.20–2.00% |
| Silicon (Si) | 0.40–0.80% |
| Manganese (Mn) | 0.40–1.50% |
| Chromium (Cr) | 0.02–0.30% |
| Titanium (Ti) | 0.01–0.10% |
| Iron (Fe) | Max. 0.10% |
| Aluminium (Al) | Balance |
The chemistry identifies MIC6 as a commercial 7000-series cast aluminium matrix with zinc, magnesium and copper as the principal alloying elements.
MIC6 Aluminium Plate Mechanical Properties
| Mechanical Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | 165 MPa / 24 ksi |
| Yield Strength | 105 MPa / 15 ksi |
| Hardness | 65 HB |
| Elongation | 3% in 2 inches |
| Density | 2.78 g/cm³ |
| Modulus of Elasticity | 71 GPa |
| Thermal Conductivity | 142 W/(m·K) at 25°C |
These values provide the material data needed when comparing MIC6 with other precision cast aluminium plate grades.
MIC6 Aluminium Plate Machining Properties
MIC6 is primarily selected for machining-intensive applications where dimensional stability during material removal is important.
| Machining Requirement | MIC6 Relevance |
|---|---|
| CNC Milling | Precision-machined plates and tooling |
| Deep Pocket Machining | Large material removal applications |
| Asymmetric Machining | Dimensional stability during uneven material removal |
| Surface Machining | Ground starting surface |
| Fixture Machining | Jigs, fixtures and inspection bases |
| Tooling Machining | Moulds, tooling plates and machine bases |
The low residual-stress condition of MIC6 is particularly relevant when substantial material is removed from different areas of the plate.
MIC6 Aluminium Plate Applications
| Industry / Application | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| CNC Machining | Precision-machined plates and machine components |
| Tooling | Tooling plates, jigs and fixtures |
| Mould Making | Mould bases and machined mould plates |
| Machine Tools | Machine bases and structural plates |
| Automation | Equipment bases and mounting plates |
| Inspection Equipment | Inspection fixtures and gauge bases |
| Prototype Manufacturing | Prototype tooling and machined fixtures |
| Industrial Machinery | Machined equipment plates |
| Vacuum Forming | Tooling and mould bases |
MIC6 Aluminium Plate Equivalent Materials
MIC6 is a proprietary commercial designation and does not have a direct one-to-one standard alloy number.
| MIC6 Reference | Functional Cast Plate Alternative |
|---|---|
| MIC6 Cast Plate | Alimex ACP 7000 |
| MIC6 Cast Plate | Gleich G.AL C330 |
| MIC6 Cast Plate | AA 7xxx-series cast material |
These alternatives should be evaluated against the required chemistry, flatness, thickness tolerance, surface finish and certification before being specified as substitutes.
